But then again, street food being an addiction of the masses, and an attraction to tourists, in any country, it doesn't make sense to discourage it. I mean, these stalls speak more of the authenticity of the local culture than any fancy restaurant. wow, 1 out of 6 is a high number!

My husband will agree with you. He pairs UP isaw and fish balls with UP gulaman hehehe JMonreal, I agree that regulation is better than sweeping them off. In many ways, because they use fresh ingredients, their stuff is healthier than processed goods from supermarkets. But I do agree with the government that they cannot block streets and prevent pedestrians and motorists from using passing comfortably. Rome, LOL. My husband will agree with you.

If local government & international organizations are going to strictly enforce the western practice of food handling and preparation down to local`street or market vendors, patay na ang mga pobre. If the foreigners think they are not hygienic, well, they are not the intended customers customers anyhow. During my early years in the Philippines, I ate a lot of not so hygienic street foods. I can't remember getting sick from the food I bought or have eaten from the street vendors. I think the government and the international organizations need to educate/train these street vendors and help them with financing so that they can at least earn more money. How? When customers see that street vendors are selling hygienic food at reasonable prices, they will be going less often to supermarkets and buying more from street vendors.
